There was highly statistically significant difference among nursing staff knowledge of legal issues total mean scores during program phases (F= 11.09, P .0001). There was a statistically significant difference between observed nurse’s practice of ethical issues total mean scores during (pre, immediately post-program implementation and follow up phase) (F= 21.50, P .0001). There was an insignificant statistical difference between observed nurse’s practice of legal issues total dimensions during (pre, immediately post-program implementation and follow up) (F= 5.194, P = 0.71)
